Interesting, but not what I was looking for.

I chose this book because I wanted to find out about the man who lived through momentous times.
Disappointingly his life up to WW1 is covered far too quickly.
The Great War is covered in great, sometimes too much, detail.
It’s saving grace is that it is written by someone who knew him and the army he led.
Some of the language feels old fashioned but I suppose that’s because it was written a long time ago!

Review

I did not care for this book because of the words you were using old style words.
I would not recommend this to anyone
